The '''Durgavati River''' (also called Durgaoti or Durgauti and spelt as Durgawati) which flows through [[Kaimur district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Bihar]], is a tributary of the [[Karmanasa River|Karmanasa]].

==Course==
The source of the Durgavati is about {{convert|7|mi|km|0|disp=flip}} east of that of the Karmanasa. In its upper reaches it is a rocky channel {{convert|20|to|30|ft|m|0|disp=flip}} wide. It runs nearly north for about {{convert|9|mi|km|0|disp=flip}} when it plunges down the rocky boundary of the table land in to the head of deep glen named Kadhar Kho. There it is joined by three other torrents that like itself rise on the table land of the Turkan Kharawars and fall down the rocks at the head of the same glen. These three torrents are the Lohara, Hatiyadub and Kothas.<ref>{{cite book|url = https://archive.org/details/historyantiquit02martgoog |page = [https://archive.org/details/historyantiquit02martgoog/page/n428 401] | title = The history, antiquities, topography, and statistics of eastern India |via = [[Internet Archive]] |year = 1838 | work= p. 401| first= Robert Montgomery | last= Martin |author-link=Robert Montgomery Martin | publisher = W.
